Earth Hour, a World Wildlife Fund-sponsored event, took place on March 31, 2012. Participants vowed to turn off non-essential lights for 1 hour on this day in support of a more sustainable future for the planet. The WWF has asked participants to post hooks on MapHook to share their Earth Hour experiences, pictures, and videos. Thanks to your hooks, the world can now see a clear picture of how 1 Earth Hour really equals many hours of energy conservation. Have you seen the map? Here is a snapshot from MapHook showing all of the current Earth Hour participation hooks, equating to nearly 70 hours of lights being turned off around the world.

And that only accounts for the people who have posted on MapHook so far. This map will only continue to grow if more people share their experiences! Here are some of your fellow participants� Earth Hour hooks.
